JC>I totally agree with Sal. I've done the same on my Bugeye with professional
JC>looking results. I borrowed my mechanics bubble flair tool. It is special.
JC>The only other special tool you'll need though is your thumbs for bending.
JC>Another tip on bending steel is try not to re-bend something. It cold works
JC>the steel and it becomes brittle. A little re-bending won't hurt though.
JC>The only thing I differ with Sal on is the use of Pep Boys, Advance Auto,
JC>Western Auto, et al. The maximum length line I have ever seen in these
JC>places is 5 ft. As a result, my clutch line has a union in it (discretely
JC>hidden under the heater fan bracket). For the brake line, I went to a local
JC>hydraulic supply house where I was able to buy a 10 ft length of 3/16". I
JC>had previously used this place to purchase 12 ft of straight 1/4" stainless
JC>tube for my fuel line. Stainless is harder to work with on tight bends
JC>without a bending tool.
I found Bubble to double adapters for my midget ( some little non-giant
auto store) You can then get all of the standard lines, of proper
length to do the job, ( splices suck ).
